Concrete Forms, Skater Soul
The Via Collection by Luis Gimeno brings swagger to the sidewalk—and a soft punch to the plaza. Made entirely of pigmented concrete, the modular urban furniture series reshapes the typology of city seating with unapologetic curves and sculptural presence.
Via’s geometry feels like it rolled straight out of a skatepark: smooth, aerodynamic, and a little subversive. The Via Bench offers a ribbon-like profile—drawn rather than constructed. The Via Lounge adds a touch of leisure to hardscape environments, while the Via Curve flexes around trees, corners, or conversation pits. It’s a system, but one that doesn’t feel boxed in.
Color helps push the envelope further. A chalky pink softens the Via Lounge‘s edges, while a bluish-gray animates the Via Bench—making each form pop against more neutral city palettes. It’s proof that site furniture can play with personality without sacrificing toughness or utility.
Like Kitmen Keung’s Dual Cut for Sixinch, the Via Collection is playful but purposeful—designed to be sat on, leaned against, or simply admired as a sculptural gesture. And while its modularity makes it easy to configure, it never reads as generic.
For designers rethinking the rhythm of public space, Via gives concrete a softer voice.
